My name is Vonda. I have been on Synthroid for 15 years. (Graves Disease - RAI). I was fortunate to finally find a physician in town that prescribes dessicated thyroid. He is very knowledgeable in integrative medicine. My labs right before my switch to Nature-Throid.

I was on Synthroid 200MCG. My doctor prescribed 130 mg Nature-Throid (2 grains). I have been on this dose a week today. I had 2 days of palpitations, but those have gone away. He wants to check my blood work in 5 weeks. No increase until he sees the results.

I was curious if this seems right to you all. This is so new to me that I don't know if waiting 5 more weeks to have my blood drawn could possibly put me in hypo. Prior to the 200mcg of Synthroid I was on 175mcg and I had a TSH of 20. The endo I was seeing at the time only tests and treats off of the TSH.

What are your thoughts? I feel ok, not great. I'm not having hyper or hypo symptoms which is great.

I am also on compounded oral progesterone (which I am reading is a poor delivery of progesterone). I had very high estrogen and very low progesterone. I'm also on adrenal support. I was tested with the 24 hour saliva test.
